FARM, HOME AND GARDEN
THE SONG OF THE SIRES.
F. MARION CRAWFORD.

The moonlight battles the sea-
And the ripples wash the sand
The song of onr hearts goes free
Down the shelving silver strand.
Neither gocdesses are We nor women,
Nor angels, nor spirits of death:
We are maidens Of evil omen,
And we breathe the sea spray for our breath.
The gods love US not in heaven,
The souls of drowned men in hell
Curse Us, from morn till even.
For the songs We stag so we'll.
we are neither alive nor dead.
We know not of death nor Of life,
But the life of man IS our bread.
7 And the tears Of the widowed wife.
hen the mother OF all. before the light,
Labored 10 bring forth gods to Chaos,
Wrapped in the pail of ancient eight,
No mother had We in her bosom 10 lay us
To dan1le and fondle caress US and nurse Us,
For We sprang out of moonlight ana soft sea
mist
And we sing that the sailors may love US and
And die in the song of the lips they have
kissed;
In the thick darkness the eyes moaued
When the Mother travelled; the shapelesS god,
The awful father, Chaos, groaned,
Shaking the vaults of space as he trod.
Then the Mother laid hold on the pillars of
night
And bowed herself and shrieked aloud,
Till the armament rocked beneath her might
And split, and rent into streamers Of
cloud.
The broad black waste of space was torn,
The arch of heaven was burst TO the day,
The SUI leapt up, and the gods were born,
And Chaos the father passed away.
But gods and men have bodies and souls,
And they live and they know that their lives
sweet
While the dear sun shines and the blue tide
rolls,
While the heart is full aud the pulses beat
The beasts of the forest. the fiocks the noun
tain,
| The bright-winged birds and the fish in the
deep,
All drink of the water of life's clear fountain
ALI die at the last and are lost i'll sleep.

the industry would necessarily involve

much lower figure, and cut off very
considerable proportion of the present
products IN the production. On the other
hand, much is TO be hoped from the ap-
parently great adaptability of the plant
10 the soil and climate of large area OF

quoted experiments for the increase of
It's saccharine content. This much, at
least, can be said of the experiments that
nave been carried on by the Department
OF Agriculture; they have shown that
good marketable sugar can be made from
sorghum cane in sufficient quantities to
pay at the present prices for the products
and by-producss of the manufacture.
The question as TO whether We are to have
a national sugar-industry in the United
States will probably work out its own
solution before many years.
A Kittens Rescue in Boston.
L was walking down the avenue near
the Providence depot when I saw a
couple of little ragged gamius run up
the embankment, pulling after them a
miserable kitten by aSstring tied around
its neck. I started in pursuit, but it was
stern chase and probabilities that
at least Que of the ''nine lives" would be
choked out of the poor victem before |
could get to the rescue. But kind Proyi-
dence was looking out for the cat As
| they neared the corner of the station a
lady we'll dressed and of dignified car
ridge turned the corner. A glance and
! she took in the situation; she formed
| herself into well organized S. P. c. A..
OF the spot, and dropping her parasol
! she seized the young Feros with a vigor
| which astonished them, and the way their
| two heads come together and the shake
they got would have done the editor of
| Our Dumb Animals good to see. A few
! fercible words of advice, a push, and
they were off, sadder and perhaps wiser.
! The lady picked up her parasol. then
| looked at the poor little parcel of fur
covered bones. Here was dilemma. If
the case had been my own l would have
been entirely at loss. A starved cat is
| hardly a piece of portable property to
! be coveted. But the champion was 90
| half rescuer. She stooped-the poor
bedraddled wretch was Invested of his
torturing string and taken in her arms.
! She walked away, the rose of indignation
still blooming on her cheek, but dignity
restored. I could only doff my hat and
say, THANK you'll" as 1 met her, wishing
in my heart the every prosecuted brute
might find a true hearted Boston girl as
defender.

THE SPIRIT OF ANARCHY LIVES

And it Attempts to GOad Norkingmen on to
Deeds of Violence.
CHICAGO, Nov. 2S.-The anarchists of
this city have prepared a rabid circular
for distribution among workingmen here.
1t IS headed with the single word Fight"
The circular denounces the anarchists
trial and execution, and declares nothing
but force will win. 1t urges "prepara-
tom for the revolution" "Whoever
joins u.s." says the circular, "must take
all the consequences upon himself, and
must be ready to sacrifice everything for
the cause, even should it be his lIfe.''

Less than the plush would cost

would be surprisingly little
